The BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch on 7 April 1968 was Britain's answer to Daytona, a round of the World Sportscar Championship that drew the era's finest endurance drivers. Jacky Ickx and Brian Redman won in a Ford GT40, ahead of the Porsche 908 of Gerhard Mitter and Ludovico Scarfiotti. Vic Elford partnered Jochen Neerpasch to third in a factory Porsche 907, while Richard Attwood ran an Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 and Jackie Oliver led the small-sports class in a Lotus 47. The race captured a transitional moment as the GT40 era began to give way to Porsche's prototype assault.
